Darin ThomasHurricane High School Principal

The Washington County School District Board of Education is pleased to announce the selection of Darin Thomas as the new principal of Hurricane High School. Darin will replace Jody Rich at the end of this contract year. Jody has served as principal of Hurricane High School for the past six years and has asked for the opportunity to finish his career as a counselor.

Darin earned his Elementary Degree at Dixie State University and his Master’s Degree at SUU. He started his education career as a 5th grade teacher at Three Falls Elementary then became the Title I Coordinator at Washington Elementary. In 2014, he accepted the opportunity to open Water Canyon, a K-12 school, as the Principal. He has enjoyed the opportunity of serving with a wonderful staff and getting to know so many great students and parents in the city of Hildale. He will miss the school and community but is excited to begin a new adventure at Hurricane High School where his children, a set of triplets, are sophomores. He also has a married son who is a 4th grade teacher at Red Mountain Elementary School. Darin is supported by his wife, an educator, who has worked as a math teacher for WCSD for the past 22 years.

Please join with us in welcoming Principal Thomas to his new assignment.

We just launched a scholarship for high school students, and we’d love to have your students apply. The scholarship is called the High School STEM Scholarship for Aspiring Commercial Drone Pilots, and its goal is to support high school students ages 16 and up who are serious about learning how to fly drones commercially.
